Galena and quartz are common species from Madan but not in this configuration. In all the years I've been active in Bulgaria (since 1995) I have not seen a finer specimen like this of cubo-octahedral galena crystals on quartz. It is really a superior piece in terms of aesthetics, quality and form. Completely crystallized to all sides and in pristine condition. Mined 2014.
